Steve's Eulogy

This note, letter or even novel depending upon how you view it is for each and every one of you who has touched my heart in one way or another.

I consider myself to be very lucky as I have the opportunity to write my own eulogy which of course does not occur very often. I have come to terms with my death and want you all to know I am here with you now in spirit. You have all been a very big part of my life and I certainly hope that I have in some way, yours.

Before I babble on and on, I implore you to mourn me for a short time and go on to live your lives on “YOUR” terms. Life is what you make of it! In my latter years I have come to believe in the “Laws of Physical Attraction”. That is that energy can affect matter. Positive thoughts yield positive results just as negative thoughts yield negative results. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending upon how you look at it (I chose fortunately) I learned this lesson with the onset of my cancer. Many of you admire my outlook and how I approached life. I must tell you now that it really was NOT a big deal! I had no choice, YOU do!

If there is a lesson learned in each and every one of you I want it to be that nothing can be as wonderful as happiness! Many of you work way too hard, quibble about finances and let petty things get in the way of your happiness. It is never too late!

Rather than taking a chance on any of you nodding during my speech, (remember I’m watching), I’ll leave you with this:

• When you leave this service please wipe away your tears.
• Get together and CELEBRATE my life (party).
• Support one another.
• AND most of all, live your life on YOUR terms!
